Morphologic characteristics of ticks collected from dogs and cats in study of ectoparasites and vectorborne zoonotic pathogens of dogs and cats in Asia, 2017–2018. A–C) Male Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides tick with hexagonal basis capitulum (A); typical sickle-shape adanal plates (B); and spiracular plate with comma shape, broad throughout its length (C).

Figure 2. Morphologic characteristics of ticks collected from dogs and cats in study of ectoparasites and vectorborne zoonotic pathogens of dogs and cats in Asia, 2017–2018. A–C) Male Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides tick with hexagonal basis capitulum (A); typical sickle-shape adanal plates (B); and spiracular plate with comma shape, broad throughout its length (C). D–F) Male R. sanguineus tick with hexagonal basis capitulum (D); subtriangular adanal plates (E); and comma-shaped spiracular plate, elongated throughout its length (F). G) Female Haemaphysalis longicornis tick with enlarged lateral palp article II (double arrowhead), ventral spur on palp article III (arrow), and internal spur on coxa I (white arrowhead), relatively long and pointed. H) H. longicornis tick palp article III with retrograde dorsal spur (arrow) and cornua one third the length of the basis capitulum (arrowhead). I) Larva of Haemaphysalis wellingtoni palp article II slightly broader than article III, internal spur on coxa I (arrowhead) and strong and sharp ventral spur on palpal article III (arrow). J–K) Female Haemaphysalis campanulata tick with well-defined ventral spur (arrow) on palp article III, palp article II strongly salient laterally, with flared and bell-shaped posterior margin (arrowhead) (J) and with short cornua (arrow) (K). L) Ixodes sp. female tick with long palp (arrow) and short spur on coxa I (arrowhead). Scale bars in panels A, B, D, E, G, J, and L indicate 500 μm; scale bars in panels C, F, H, and K indicate 200 μm; scale bar in panel I indicates 100 μm.
